The Dragons-Machines game was the most epic not-collapse I've ever seen.

Well, I've got to say that the Rvierdogs-Penetrators game was nearly a colossal collapse. We were leading by 25 heading into the fourth and the coach didn't get the starters back into the game until that lead was down to 8. We were damn lucky to win after DC came back to tie it near the end.

I watched the last eight seconds of DRR vs DCDRP. Off-ball foul on a game-tying three with two seconds left on the clock, yeah that gets called all the time in the NBA.

I can guarantee that it was a cliff-hanger, much too close for an old man to watch! Kudos to the Penetrators for a great comeback!

Yeah very frustrating. I never know what to make of my team's performance in games like that. Was I just overperforming early and regressing to the mean the last quarter? Do I have stamina issues? (None of my starters have below 6 stamina and my team as a whole averages 6.2 so I don't think that this is the case.) Is it just a fluke? Or is it just the nature of the GE to keep games close between equally matched teams? (Maybe trying to simulate the team with the lead taking it easy down the stretch because of the big lead?) Regardless of what the reason is, I am happy for the win, but blowing a 19 point lead doesn't make me feel all that better about my team's chances.

You're probably right, Saul—and sometimes the shoe is on the other foot:-) When our teams make great comebacks, it's awesome. When the opposing team does it, there's something wrong with the GE:-)

When I left the house last night, you were up something like 15. When I came home and found that I'd lost by a damn buzzerbeater, I assumed that the game went into garbage time, and my starters just went on a fat run against your backups, and your starters eventually had to come back in and seal the deal. It seems this is not the case.

Either way, I'm kinda glad Tapia hit that buzzerbeater, because overtime would have ruined my already poor weekly minutes distribution.
